Appcast for NTFS-3Ghttp://osx.iusethis.com/app/ntfs-3g
version history with a sparkle via iusethis.comen-us0http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/Tuxera Ltd.NTFS-3G for Mac OS X is a software project designed to bring NTFS read/write support to Mac OS X along with additional advanced features.
It is based on NTFS-3G, the leading open source NTFS driver that is ported into numerous platforms, but also includes other software projects to build a complete toolset for managing NTFS volumes.
NTFS-3G itself is included in hundreds of Linux distributions; for example Fedora, Mandriva, openSUSE and Ubuntu use NTFS-3G as the default NTFS driver. Development has been ongoing since 2006.747ntfs filesystem ntfs3g tuxeraGPLNTFS-3G 2011.1.15http://osx.iusethis.com/app/versions/7007#ver_39175
Version: 2011.1.15

The NTFS-3G system preferences are now retained between installs, and limited support for automatically repairing damaged NTFS-3G settings has been added.

When asking for confirmation before mounting a volume with an unclean log file or a hibernated volume, the dialog informing the user that the mount succeeded has been removed.

The 'stable' and 'ublio' labels are dropped. We now have a 'standard' build, and a 'legacy' build in case anyone is still interested in the limited feature set of the old 'stable' build. The 'legacy' build will probably be removed in the future, unless anyone has a good reason that it should be kept maintained.

* New: The 'recover' and 'norecover' mount options were introduced. The former option will casue the driver to recover and repair a corrupted or inconsistent NTFS volume if it's possible. The default behaviour is 'recover'.
* Fix: The driver may crashed when it tried to read a highly fragmented file or directory which was either corrupted or it was unreadable due to a hardware error. Upgrade is recommended.
* Fix: The driver incorrectly returned 'Permission denied' error message if a requested extended attribute namespace wasn't supported.
* Fix: The lack of file backup timestamp support confused some applications on OS X.
* Change: The user extended attribute namespace is supported by default on Linux.
* Change: A volume having unclean journal file is recovered and mounted by default. The 'norecover' mount option can be used to disable this behavior.

An NTFS-3G preference pane has been added after some time in development. The preference pane can be used to set NTFS-3G options and uninstall NTFS-3G. Open your System Preferences application after installation to try it out.

Filename normalization code has been added to increase compatibility with Windows filenames including western/greek filenames with accents, and korean filenames.
Normalization is enabled by default, but can be switched off using the preference pane.
Note that using normalization may render the accented/korean filenames that you have previously created using Mac OS X / NTFS-3G inaccessible, so please test which mode works best for your particular drive.

The driver now supports returning and setting the create date for a file/directory. (This has been integrated in the main ntfs-3g source tree.)

All file names returned that break the 255 byte limit are now truncated to 255 bytes to avoid breaking a directory listing.

Update 1: Fix for an issue with certain applications being unable to save files to the NTFS-3G volume. This was caused by not having a setbkuptime implementation. Fixed by creating a setbkuptime stub pretending to set the backup time (there is no such thing as backup time in NTFS).

Fix: Reading a data storage with permanent or temporary physical damage, or a partial read(2) system call could result ignoring the low level hardware error and returning invalid data. Upgrade is recommended.

Mac specific: Read-only mounts now have a better chance of succeeding, as the driver now properly parses the probe arguments.

Mac specific: All global settings have been moved out of the mount script and into the preference plist file /Library/Preferences/org.catacombae.macntfs-3g.DriverSettings.plist
